Human Resource Management
Organizational Structures: Functional, Matrix (weak, balanced,
Initiation
strong) , Projectized, Composite
Planning
Maslows Hierarchy of Needs: Physiological, Safety, Social, Self
Execution
-esteem, Self-actualization.
Monitor and Control
McGregor: Theory X, Theory Y.
Closing
Ouchi: Theory Z. Motivated by commitment, opportunity advancement.
Herzbergs Theory of Motivation: Hygiene factors, Motivating Agents.
Knowledge Areas
Leadership Styles: Directing, Facilitating, Coaching, Supporting,
Integration
Autocratic, Consultative, Consensus.
Scope Management
Project Manager Powers: Formal (legitimate,) Reward, Penalty
Time Management
(coercive), Expert, Referent.
Cost Management
Conflict Management: Withdraw (avoid), Smooth (accommodate),
Quality Management
Compromise, Force, Collaborate, Confront (problem solving.)
Quality Management
HR Management
Communications Management Ishikawa = Fishbone Diagram: cause and effect.
Pareto Diagram: Identify problems and frequency. 80/20 Rule.
Procurement Management
Flow
Charts; Control Charts.
Risk Management
Just in Time: Reduces inventory; requires additional quality control.
Professional Responsibility
Quality Theories: Kaizen (continuous improvement,) Six Sigma, TQM
(total quality management.)
Earned Value Management
Kaizen: Small improvements to reduce costs and improve consistency.
BAC = Budget At Completion
Deming Cycle: Plan, Do Check, Act.
EV = Actual % * BAC
Cost Management
PV = Planned % * BAC
Cost Estimating - Accuracy
AC = Sum of all incurred costs Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM): -50% to +100%
Budgetary: -10% to +25%
CV = EV - AC
Definitive: -5% to + 10%
SV = EV - PV
Risk Management
CPI = EV / AC
Risk Strategies (threats): Avoid, Transfer, Mitigate, Accept.
< 1 = Over Budget
Risk Strategies (opportunities): Exploit, Share, Enhance, Accept.
> 1 = Under Budget
Qualitative Risk Analysis: Chance and impact of risk occurrence
SPI = EV / PV
Results in prioritized list of risks; risk ranking.
< 1 = Behind Schedule
Quantitative Risk Analysis: Numerical analysis of probability
> 1 = Ahead of Schedule and impact.
Tools: Interviews, Sensitivity Analysis, Decision Tree Analysis,
EAC = BAC / CPI
Simulation, Monte Carlo Analysis.
EAC = AC + ETC
Closing
EAC = AC + (BAC + EV) / CPI
Contract Close: Before project close
ETC = EAC - AC
Project or Phase Close: Lessons Learned
VAC = BAC - EAC
PMI Code of Ethics: Respect, Fair, Honest.
BCWS = PV
Processes
BCWP = EV
Key Formulas
ACWP = AC
Standard Deviation = (P - O) / 6
Tips:
PERT = (O + 4M + P) / 6
Negative is bad
Positive is good
If Variance: EV - Something
If Index: EV / Something
If Cost related use AC
If Time related use PV
Most formulas start with EV
Time Management
